Strand 2.3 Topics Topic 1: Modeling and simulations (Climate change, forecasting natural events or demographic changes) Topic 2: Data logging (Sensors, probes, real-time data collection) Topic 3: Satellite communication (Remote sensing devices, satellite imagery, tagging) Topic 4: Mapping, virtual globes (Geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), cell/mobile phone tracking, online journey planning, online maps.) Topic 5: E-waste (Development, disposal and recycling of IT equipment, monitoring organizations such as the Basel Action Network.) Topic 6: Resource depletion (Use of non-renewable resources for manufacturing components, electrical consumption of IT systems.)
Still don't understand? Here's a good example... Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
Global Positioning Systems create many ITGS related issues, for example: 1. It creates an easier way to navigate from Point A to Point B.
Instead of having to use an actual map to figure out which roads you should take, you only have to enter the addresses of Point A and Point B. 2. Sometimes the GPS will mess up.
If you get lost because a GPS mess up, you will not be able to get to where you want to be on time.
